We could start with the advantages of mobile phones. There are many things that we could do with mobile phones. With the advancement of technology，more and more features are being added to the mobile phones which make them more useful. In addition to making calls，mobile phones also support a wide variety of other services such as text messaging，email，Internet access，business applications，gaming and photography. We can bring them everywhere，and can be reached by others anytime. They make the world smaller，bringing people together no matter where they are.
But we could have some risks when using our mobile phones. We may have accidents when we use them while driving. Some studies show that mobile phones can do harm to our bodies;and materials in mobile phones could damage our environment.
Since there are so many risks，why do we still have mobile phones？This is because these risks or disadvantages can be overcome. For example，while we are driving we can easily pull up our car if we really need to use the phone. Mobile phone manufacturers are reducing the radiation of mobile phones to avoid health risks.
Though there are both pros and cons of using mobile phones，we could easily see that there are more advantages than disadvantages. Moreover，mobile phones are becoming cheaper，which might be another reason why mobile phones are increasingly used today.
1. Which of the following functions is NOT mentioned in the passage？
A. Text messaging.
B. Camera.
C. GPS.
2. What risks might mobile phones cause？
A. Traffic accidents and health problems.
B. Environmental damage.
C. Both A and B.
3. What are mobile phone manufacturers doing to prevent mobile phone users from health risks？
A. They are reducing the radiation of mobile phones.
B. They are trying to persuade people to use mobile phones less.
C. They are developing new models of mobile phones.
4. Why do people still use mobile phones despite their disadvantages？
A. Because people don’t believe that mobile phones have any disadvantages.
B. Because the disadvantages of mobile phones can be avoided.
C. Because people cannot live without mobile phones.
5. According to the last paragraph，why are mobile phones increasingly being used today？
A. They are safer.
B. They have more functions.
C. They are becoming cheaper.

"It wasn't clear how long children in the first year of life could retain a memory of an event," Liston says. We were interested in testing the hypothesis that neurological developments at the end of the first year and the beginning of the second would result in a significant Enhancement in this kind of memory.
Liston showed a simple demonstration to infants ages 9, 17, or 24 months old. The test results showed a huge difference between the test children Who had been 9 months old when they saw the first demonstration and those who had been older. "Whereas 9-month-olds don't I really remember a thing after four months, 17-and 24-month-olds do," Liston says. "Something is happening in the brain between 9 and 17 months old that enables children to encode these memories efficiently and in such a way that they can be retained and retrieved after a long period of time," Liston says. Researchers believe that changes in certain regions of the brain's frontal lobe and the hippocampus, which axe associated with memory retention and retrieval, drive the rapid expansion of childhood recall. Previous studies have shown that the frontal lobes in humans begin to mature during the last quarter of the first year of life.
Liston's work may help explain why adults can rarely remember anything from before their second birthday or so. Most people simply accept this "infant amnesia" as a fact of life. "But it's not clear why a 40-year-old has plenty of memories for something that happened 20 years ago, but a 20- year-old has basically no memories for something that happened when he was 2 or 3 ," Liston says. He suggests that the same brain mechanisms that were not yet able to encode long-term memories in 9-month-olds may also play some role in adults' inability to remember events of infancy. Researchers still need to look at other areas of cognition -- such as what role language ability plays in memory -- to really fully understand why people can' t remember anything that happened before 2--3 years of age. But one thing is clear: When l-year-old Snookums claims he doesn't remember breaking the heirloom chitin five months ago, he's almost surely telling the truth.
Conor Liston ______.
A．has only a vague understanding of infants' poor memory
B．has found something more about the origin of long-term recall
C．has detected the regions of the brain responsible for memory-processing
D．has established a theory about memory development

"You're so brave!"
Why is it that a woman travelling alone, as I have often done for months at a time, is perceived to be "brave", whereas men who travel alone are entirely unremarkable？
You are only brave when you are afraid of something but still do it anyway.I have never been afraid of travelling alone.
The first time I travelled alone was when I was19.I was due to travel in Europe with a friend at the end of the summer.She announced by letter two days before our departure that she would be leaving me halfway at Vienna.It was too late by then to rope in another friend, so it was either to go home after Vienna, or keep going by myself.I kept going.I got on trains by myself, checked into hostels by myself and found my way around by myself.It was weird at first, but later I stopped worrying about it.
When I got back to Ireland after that trip, I felt proud of myself.I had done something I had assumed would be hard, and it had turned out to be not hard at all.
That was three decades ago, and since then I have travelled all over the world, usually on my own.I still do what I did then, which is to keep a diary.The greatest gift of solo travel has been those I've met along the way.I may have set off alone each time but I've encountered many people who became important to me.I met my husband in Kathmandu, Nepal.I met lifelong friends in Australia, Poland, Hungary, Turkey, India, Indonesia and many other places.
